Today’s financial workflows are becoming increasingly complex due to the competing pressures of new technology leading to faster execution and the need to ensure that all actions and communications are compliant. In order to keep up with these workflows, the involved participants must become more efficient.

One of the major ways in which workflows and user efficiency lag is the speed of communication. Whether it’s waiting to send that email, needing to schedule that next call, or trying to find someone in the office only to discover they are working from home today, communication speed is where workflows break down. So how can one improve communication efficiency?

Enter Instant Voice. Instant Voice, or IV as we often call it, is the fastest way for users on Symphony – think operations, research, and PMs – to effortlessly communicate with users on Cloud9 – think traders, sales, and brokers – and to communicate with other users on Symphony. With a single click, a no-ring, no-dialing, intercom-like voice call is launched to exactly who you need to talk to, no matter where they are.

Voice is faster than chatting. Instant is faster than scheduled. And no time is wasted to get questions, updates, or any other quick problem cleared up.
